Crop Details

• Botanical name: Brassica oleracea var. capitata
• Type: Savoy cabbage
• Leaf style: Deeply crinkled green leaves
• Season: Cool season
• Light: Full sun

Starting the Seeds

Start indoors before the spring planting season or sow for a later crop as temperatures begin to cool. Plant approximately 1/2 inch deep in a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix. Provide strong light after emergence and keep seedlings evenly moist without waterlogging.

Transplanting and Care

Harden seedlings gradually before transplanting into fertile, well-drained soil. Space plants to allow room for head development and airflow. Water consistently, especially as heads begin to form, and avoid sharp swings between very dry and saturated soil. Mulch can help regulate moisture and reduce weed competition.

Harvest

Harvest when the head feels firm and has reached a useful size. Cut at the base with a clean, sharp knife while leaving surrounding leaves in place. Development time and final head size vary with temperature, spacing, fertility, moisture, and other growing conditions.

Kitchen Uses

The textured leaves can be shredded for slaw, added to soups and stews, sautéed, braised, or used as wraps for fillings. Wash harvested cabbage thoroughly and prepare it according to your preferred recipe.

Available in seed-count and bulk-weight packages from 100 seeds through 1 pound.
